Cooking With Cast Iron Over Camp Fire
During the recent Do It Yourself World survival training weekend we learned how to cook with cast iron cookware over a camp fire. This may sound simple, but there are certain techniques involved in cooking with an open fire. You cannot control the fire temperature as easily as you can with the stove top in your house. Cast iron is rugged and perfect for cooking right over the coals of a fire. You can boil water, bake bread and slow cook some fine meals with cast iron. You can even fry eggs. You should practice using your survival gear and survival food stash now when you have time. When your life depends on it is not the time to learn how to cook in the wilds…

Orange marmalade is great, fresh orange juice is terrific but can become overindulgent and it doesn’t keep or freeze well either, and then there are other ways to treat an orange surplus… like making cordial. Fresh oranges start perishing from the time they are picked and if you leave them piled in a container they will soon go mouldy, attract fermentation flies, …
